Undergraduates and Master’s students
Undergraduate students are welcome to inquire about possible projects (preferably via email). Please describe in a couple of paragraphs why you are interested in working in this lab, which scientific research area has excited you recently and why, and what you think you will be doing five years from now. Please also describe your background and skills. Be sure to know that unless you can commit a good amount of time to research, there is no point in applying. Please also note how many hours you would realistically think you can be in the lab.
Prospective PhD students
If you are a rotation student, please come and talk to me.
If you are someone thinking about applying to our PhD program, please note the first and most important thing you should know which is that we accept students not into individual labs, but only into the program and these decisions are made by a committee. So you should be sure that there are at least 3 labs that you would be interested in performing rotations in during your first year. An individual PI cannot accept you into his/her lab as a PhD student.
A good application will have a CV with evidence of substantial research experience. In your research statement, you may want to highlight why you’d like to come to this department, e.g. you may like to look at several labs.
You can find application forms online at: http://gsas.nyu.edu/admissions/gsas-application-resource-center/application-and-instructions/nyu-gsas-online-application.html
Good luck!
